Across the Curriculum 2e Science

The world is a wonderful place and it is full of all types of people. Some have got fair hair and others have got dark hair. There are tall people and there are short people. However, we have all got two eyes and ears, a mouth and a nose. So, we are all different but in some ways we are all the same.

Sometimes, people in the same family are very alike. They have got the same colour hair or eyes. This is because they have got some genes from their grandparents and some genes from their parents. But, they are also different.

In fact, we are all unique and even identical twins are not exactly the same even though they are very alike. It really is amazing, isn’t it?

The Mayan civilisation was an ancient civilisation in southern Mexico and other parts of Central America. The Maya got on well with people from other parts of Central America. The Maya were very clever people. They were good at astronomy, architecture and writing. They even had their own system of mathematics.

Mayan cities were full of temples and pyramids.

These stone buildings were very tall with statues of their gods or their rulers on them. People could see the statues from far away.

This large dynasty was around for over 2,000 years until a tragedy happened and they disappeared. Some say there was a war. Others say there was a drought.

ñ remarkable record ñ survived seven lightning strikes ñ was working up a tree ñ knocked him unconscious ñ burned his eyebrows off ñ damaged shoulder ñ burned off his hair ñ set his hair on fire again ñ hurt his ankle ñ sent him to hospital ñ severe burns

Roy Sullivan was a forest ranger in Virginia, USA. He is in the Guinness Book of World Records for a remarkable record. Between 1942 and 1977, Roy survived seven lightning strikes. His nickname was The Human Lightning Rod. The first lightning strike was in 1942 as he was working up a tree. On that day, he lost the nail from his big toe. The second strike happened while he was driving on a mountain road. It knocked him unconscious and burned his eyebrows off. The third strike occurred when he was in his front garden and it left him with a damaged shoulder.

The fourth strike took place in 1972 while he was in a ranger station. It burned off his hair.

Roy dumped a bucket of water over his head to cool off. A year later another lightning strike hit him on the head and set his hair on fire again. The sixth strike happened in 1976 while Roy was at a campsite. Roy tried to run away from a cloud which was moving in his direction. This time the strike hurt his ankle.

The last lightning bolt hit him while he was fishing, and it sent him to hospital with severe burns to the chest and stomach.

Roy Sullivan was a very fortunate man. The chance of lightning striking a person just once is only one in 600,000. This chance came his way seven times and each time he survived. That’s what you call luck!

How a short hike in the jungle nearly cost an Australian man his life.

Lying on his back and unable to move, Hayden Adcock was not fully aware of the helicopter flying over the jungle canopy. When a few hours later the search party arrived to rescue him, they found him in critical condition. He was suffering from cuts, insect bites, and severe exhaustion after spending 11 days lost in the jungle with no food.

Hayden Adcock was a healthy 40-year-old man and an experienced hiker and traveller. At the end of July, he was in Laos, near Thailand, and he decided to take a short hike to a well-known waterfall. He was wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and walking shoes and carrying only a bottle of water when he started his walk through the national park. As he was visiting a second waterfall, heavy rainfall washed away all the paths. The jungle began to look the same everywhere and Adcock finally realised he was lost.

Adcock was looking for a way out through some trees when he saw a cliff. Suddenly, big lizards appeared and ran towards him. Shocked and afraid, Adcock ran through the forest. As he was running, he cut himself and then fell into a river.

Hurt and confused, he decided to stay near the waterfall so that helicopters could easily spot him, and he could drink the water. Night after night insects and animals scratched and bit him. Their poison slowly made its way into his blood. He spent the last three days on his back not able to move his hands or feet.

On 10th August, Adcock was airlifted to a hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. Adcock told reporters that the one thing that kept him alive was the thought of seeing his family and friends again. It will take him some time to recover, but he feels lucky to be alive.

Sand Sculpting Festival I’m here with my family at the Sand Sculpting Festival on Frankston Beach, Melbourne, Australia. We’re staying for the weekend. The festival lasts from the end of December to the end of April and the theme of the sculptures changes every year. This year the sculptures show creatures and scenes from the age of the dinosaurs. There are several dozen huge dinosaurs made of 3,500 tons of sand. You might think you are in Jurassic Park! You can watch the sculptors at work, too. It’s fascinating. I fancy having a go myself. The exhibition opens every day at 10 am, so tomorrow I’m making my own dinosaur at the Sand Workshop – with a little professional help! >> Continue Reading Posted by Laura on 17th January in Travel Planet.

Roswell UFO Festival My friends and I are having a fantastic time at this year’s Roswell UFO Festival in New Mexico, USA. It’s a four-day event that takes place every year in early July. Some people believe that an alien spaceship – a UFO – crashed in a field near Roswell in 1947 and the festival celebrates that event. Not everyone believes this story, of course, but the festival is still a lot of fun.

Everyone dresses up as aliens for the Alien Costume Competition. The costumes are fabulous and even family pets take part. There are dogs dyed blue and tortoises covered in aluminium foil! Today we’re watching the parade down Main Street and tomorrow the firework display starts at 9 pm. They say it’s really amazing. So are some of the aliens you meet. >> Continue Reading Posted by Bruce on 2nd July in All Around.

Winter Carnival Here in Saranac Lake, New York it’s -5oC and people are celebrating their Winter Carnival. The festival takes place at the beginning of February each year and lasts 10 days. The local people build an enormous ice palace as a home for Sara the Snowy Owl, the town mascot. The festival begins with the crowning of the Winter Carnival King and Queen. Lots of fun events follow, including races and treasure hunts. Right now we are watching the parade. There are dozens of colourful floats carrying people in fancy costumes. The whole town comes alive. Tonight we’re watching the fireworks display over the Ice Palace. What a ‘cool’ celebration! >> Continue Reading Posted by Eve on 2nd February in Travel.

Put the verbs in brackets into the present simple or the present continuous. How do the sentences differ in meaning?

1

Study the table. Say the examples in your language.

We use the present simple: ñ for habits/routines. He wakes up early in the morning. ñ for timetables. The bus leaves at 8:45 am.

We use the present continuous: ñ for actions happening now or around the time of speaking. They are sleeping now. ñ for future fixed arrangements. We’re going to Portugal this summer. ñ for annoying actions. She’s always coming in late.

Note: Some verbs do not have continuous forms because they describe a state, not an action (like, love, hate, believe, etc). These are stative verbs. Some stative verbs can have continuous forms but with a difference in meaning. I think he’s tired. (= believe), I’m thinking of going home now. (= considering)

How are the pictures related to it?

Listen and read to find out.

It is one of the most important festivals for Chinese families to celebrate the start of a New Year in the Chinese calendar.

The Chinese New Year starts with the first new moon, usually in late January or early February. The celebrations last until the full moon – 15 days later! The Chinese celebrate New Year with family gatherings, wonderful foods, firecrackers, lion dancers, street parades and lanterns. There are also a lot of superstitions surrounding the celebrations.

1

2

ñ Red is a bright, happy colour that keeps away bad spirits. So, to bring good luck for the following year, people decorate their homes with red banners and everyone wears red clothes. Family and friends also give children little red envelopes with gifts of money. ñ Children have a great time during the New Year celebrations.

They can eat lots of sweets, which the Chinese believe makes the following year ‘sweet’. Best of all, parents don’t tell them off, even when they are behaving badly, because nobody wants them to start crying. An old superstition says that a child that cries at New Year cries every day of the coming year. ñ There are other things people try to avoid during the New Year celebrations. Before the New Year, the Chinese clean their houses to clear out any bad luck from the previous year.

People finish sweeping and cleaning before New Year’s Day because they believe you brush away your good luck if you sweep the house on that day.

3

ñ Another thing the Chinese avoid doing during the celebrations is using scissors or knives. It’s very unlucky to cut your hair or even to chop vegetables, and no one wants to risk their good fortune for the coming year.

On New Year’s Eve the Chinese visit relatives and have a large meal together. Typically, they eat eight or nine dishes because these are lucky numbers. They often eat long noodles that symbolise long life.

Flowers to honour and to help Painful memories An annual event A solemn commemoration

1 Australians celebrate Remembrance Day on 11th November every year in honour of the 62,000 Australians who died fighting in World War I. It is also an occasion to honour soldiers who have died in wars since then.

2 In the morning, the crowds gather at war memorials across the country. People sing songs and read poems. Then, just before 11 am, a musician plays The Last Post on a bugle. This slow, sad tune signals the beginning of a two-minute silence.

Eleven o’clock marks the end of the First World War on the morning of the 11th November, 1918. Then the bugler plays The Rouse. This is the tune which wakes soldiers up in the mornings and, as part of the Remembrance Service, is a sign of hope and of a new beginning.

3 On this occasion many people wear red paper poppies pinned to their clothes.

The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day because these flowers grew in such huge numbers every year on the battlefields in France during World War I.
